Infiniti Unveils 2027 QX65 Midsize SUV

Infiniti unveiled the 2027 QX65 on Wednesday, introducing a midsize two-row crossover SUV that revives the sporty spirit of the brand's original FX model from over two decades ago. The vehicle, built on the platform of the three-row QX60 but without the extra seating, emphasizes a fastback silhouette and luxury features for buyers seeking style over maximum passenger capacity. Production will begin at Infiniti's facility in Smyrna, Tennessee, with the QX65 arriving at dealerships early this summer.

The QX65 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four VCTurbo engine, producing 268 horsepower and 286 pound-feet of torque. This variable compression technology adjusts the engine's ratio in real time to balance performance and efficiency. It pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission tuned for sharper shifts and quicker acceleration, including more aggressive downshifts during braking. All-wheel drive is standard across the lineup, enabling a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. Active noise cancellation and sound enhancement systems refine the cabin experience by muting unwanted sounds while amplifying sporty exhaust notes.
